Course information

Innovation is your most important driver of growth. Your business needs to innovate in order to survive, especially in the post-pandemic world. 

Today, if you stand still, you’re going backwards.

Yet the truth is most companies are not great at bringing innovative products to market. The failure rate is shockingly high.

According to research, 72% of new products or services miss their revenue and profit goals -- or fail entirely. Most companies embark on the long and costly journey of product development hoping they'll make money but not knowing if they will.

But it doesn’t have to be this way…

By learning the science of innovation and drawing on lessons from thousands of real-world case studies, your business can become more creative, more innovative and more successful. And this new practical workshop will teach you and your team how.

This new Business Creativity and Innovation workshop presents a practical approach that can be adopted in any business. By applying evidence-based theories, you’ll see your innovation strengths and weakness in a new light. This means you’ll be able to implement simple and tried-and-tested methods to design a straightforward innovation improvement plan.
